Viral video at Harris Teeter Taproom
Public awareness of one such bar, at Harris Teeter’s store in the Brier Creek area, increased recently, after a video of some of the taproom’s customers went kind of viral.
Harris Teeter shared the video on its Facebook page Tuesday, April 14, but storyteller Liz Z Pardue reshared it this week. It shows a group of women dancing in the store to live music by Mike Davis.
Both posts received a lot of engagement. Harris Teeter’s post has more than 4,000 likes, nearly 300 comments and more than 225 shares as of Wednesday, April 29. Liz Z Pardue’s Instagram Reel had been viewed about 486,000 times as of April 29, and it had more than 23,000 likes.
The taprooms are open daily, but live music only happens once a week. At the Brier Creek location, customers can hear from musicians on Thursdays from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
